REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
The Selectmeu of the Town of Weymouth submit herewith their
Annual report, with a detailed statement of the expenditures
under the various appropriations, for the year ending December
31, 1898.
HIGHWAYS.
At the last annual meeting, the town voted to instruct the
Selectmen to employ a Superintendent of Streets holding no other
town otlice.
In compliance with this vote, on April 1, George F. Maynard
was appointed to that office and entered at once upon its duties.
At a salary of S800 a year, and his report appears on page 99.
We do not wish to be considered as of the opinion that under
no circumstances would this method be the wisest to pursue in
the management of the town highways. If twenty thousand dol¬
lars were at the disposal of this department, and a superintendeht
could be secured who would command on his merits a salary of
fifteen or sixteen hundred dollars a year, and who with a gang of
picked men with whom he should be present every day, should
perform all the work, with the advice of the Selectmen, without
special regard as to what part of the town might or might not
get the greatest benefit in any given year, then this might be the
wisest course to pursue ; but under the circumstances which pre¬
vail in our town, after giving careful, and as we believe unbiased
consideration to the matter, we are emphatically of the opinion
that in no waj’ can so much be accomplished, nor as general sat-
8
isfaction given with any appropriation which is likely to be made,
as to leave the Selectmen unhampered in the appointment of a
superintendent. »
The appropriation for highway repairs was $10,238.22. There
has been expended $11,623.75, an excess of $1,385.53.
Of the new streets and extensions of streets which have been
accepted by the town, there remains to be constructed the whole
or portions of the following : Phillips street, Bayview street, and
the street from the angle on Lovell street to Great Hill Park.
We have but in part complied with the vote of the town, direct¬
ing that of the appropriation for repairs, $200.00 in each ward
should be expended on sidewalks, for the reason that before the
construction was entered upon in wards three, four, and five, it
became apparent that the work then underway, and which it was
essential should be completed, would fully use up the appropria¬
tion, which we did not feel warranted to exceed for this purpose,
although it became necessary, in our judgment, to do so later in
the season in order to put certain pieces of way in a passable con¬
dition for winter use.
UNION STREET.
The working of this street as laid out by the County Commis¬
sioners, has been completed, and the street accepted.
The Commissioners made a further award for land damage, of
$215.00, which together with the original amount taxed upon the
county, $5,233.00, has been received by the Town Treasurer.
The appropriation for the completion of the street, which was
$2,000.00, has been exceeded by $46.76.
We have no hesitation in saying that this is now one of the
best, if not the best of the gravel streets in town.
REMOVAL OF SNOW.
The appropriation for this purpose was $$4,369.53.
As the rememberance of the storms of last February and the
more recent one, as well as more destructive, of November 27 and
9
28 is still fresh in memory, it n(*ed hardly he said that the cost for
snow has been unusually huge, amounting to §5,754.92, and ex¬
ceeding the appropriation by §1,385.39.
STATE HIGHWAYS.
'I'he macadamizing of Ann Street was let out by the commission
by contract to private p;irties and the work was completed early
in the season, so that the town is now released from the care of
this obscure street, which has no connection with any other street
in town.
Bridge Street has also been completed from the Hingham to the
(Quincy Bridge, and accepted by the Commissioners. In the con¬
struction of this way the inteiests of the town have suffered ma¬
terially by reason of the supervision of the work being placed each
year in different hands, and undoubtedly' the cost has been in¬
creased thereby, but we have now nearly two miles of excellent
macadam road, which is highly. appreciated by all persons having
occassion to use it, either for business or pleasure.
'I'he total cost of the work done on this street since its com¬
mencement has been §21,844.65, the approvals by the Commis¬
sioners amount to §14,185.66. 'Phis leaves a cost which has
been borne by the town of §7,658.99.
For the town to have worked the widening of the County
(commissioners, we consider that §5,000 would be a conservative
estimate, so that the town may be said to have lost §2,658.99 by
the working of these contracts.
'Phis widening has been worked the whole of the way in con-:
nection with the construction of the State road, but this work,
together with the making of the sidewalks, is not included in the
approvals of the (Commissioners. They do not assume the con¬
struction and maintenance of sidewalks, and in this connection
we would report that the retaining wall and walk along the water
front, easterly from the Pine Point House, were demolished by
the tides during the storm of November 28, and an appropriation
will be necessary for the purpose ‘of rebuilding them.
As no appropriation was made at the last annual meeting for
10
the cost to the town of the working of the contract of 1897, it
becomes necessary to show the two years together in this state¬
ment, that the exCess may be provided for.
The expenditures for 1897 and 1898 were . . S8,924 72
The approvals by the Commission . . . . 5,169 12
The cost to the town ...... 3,755 60
The petition for the taking by the State of the whole or portions
of Washington and Main streets has not yet been acted upon by
the Commissioners, but we are informed by them that it will be
taken up soon after the first of January, 1899.
STIIKET RAILWAYS.
The Quincy and Boston company have built upon the location
granted them last year upon Bridge street, from Sea to North
street.
A further extension of time has been granted to the Braintree
and Weymouth company for construction upon their location on
Main, Derby, Hollis and Randolph streets.
A location was granted to the Rockland and Abington company
for the extension of their tracks on Pond street to the Abington
line. The controlling ‘interest in this company has since passed
into new hands, and we understand that the new management
will not build upon this location.
A location has been granted to the Holbrook and Weymouth
company upon Weymouth, Randolph, Forest and Columbian
streets, to Main street.
At the date of this report petitions are pending as follows :
From the (Quincy and Boston company, for a location from a
point at or near the Brainti’ee line, over Commercial street, Wash¬
ington square. Front, Summer, Federal and Washington streets,
to the Hiugham line ; also from the same point, over Commercial
street, Washington square and AVashington street, to the Hing-
ham line ; also one from the Braintree and Weymouth company,
4
11
from the junction of Front and Hunt streets, over Front street,
Washington square and Commercial street, to the Weymouth
station of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad
company ; also from the same company, to connect with their
present track at Lincoln square, thence over Broad to Front
street, over Front to Sterling street, and over the latter to the
Braintree line.
At the last annual meeting the town instructed the Selectmen
U) appeal, to the Railroad Commissioners for a proper regulation
of fares on the Braintree and Weymouth Street Railw ay ; realiz¬
ing the uncertainty of the result of such an appeal, w'e have
sought to secure the removal of the cause of complaint without
having recourse thereto.
Several interviews were had with the otticials of the company
concerning the difficulty, and partly from this and partly as an
outcome of a railroad hearing held November 5, we received,
under date of Nov. 12, 1898, the following communication, signed
by the superintendent of the company: “We have notified con-
<luctors, extending the transfer limit via dackson square from
Lincoln scpiare to Washington square, to take effect Novem¬
ber 14.
“ Basse-ngers can then go to or from any point betw^een Coluin-
*
bian scjuare and Washington scjuaro via Jackson square for five
cents.”
We have since received the promise of the officials of the com¬
pany that 'upon the connection of their tracks with those of the
Holbrook and Weymouth Company, which is expected to be not
later than June 1 of the present year, they will discontinue the
use of the coupon tickets and take passengers around Columbian
square for a single fare.
POLICF.
*
Night patrol were appointed in Wards two, three and five, and
two special police, as usual. Aside from this but little police
service has been authorized. The appropriations were $4,241.80.
'I'here has been expended $3,895.66, more than a thousand dol¬
lars less thftn in 1897, but the balance, $346.14, is plainly insuffl-
12
cient for the payment of the officers for the remainder of the
year.
The enforcement of liquor laws was again placed in the hands
of Officers Butler and Fitzgerald, who have with the ready assist¬
ance of the. patrol kept the sale of intoxicants well suppressed;
their report appears on page 179.
MISCELLANEOUS.
This account is usually subject to its full share of criticism,
but it will be noticed by a perusal of the detailed statement that
there is comparatively little here over which the Selectmen have
any control, and we do not, therefore, hold ourselves responsible
for the fact that the appropriation was inadequate to meet the
calls made upon it for the year.
We recommend that the payment of Inspectors of Animals and
Provisions, which is carried in this account, be provided for in
the appropriation for Town Officers, where it more properly
belongs.
rOWN HOUSE.
As it now seems probable that access to the Town House will
soon be had by street cars, we advise that the building be put in
repair, and that additional safe room be provided for.
ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
The number of incandescent street lights which we rei^ort this
year is 277 and of arc lights 33, for which we have continued to
pay $17 aud $70, respectively.
The controlling interest in the Light & Power Company has
passed into new hands, and improvements are now under way in
the plant, which, it is promised, will make it one of the most
efficient in the State.
§
13
BILLS PAYABLE.
'I'here has been paid one note of S5,233 for money borrowed
for the payment of land damage on Union street, and one note
of $5,500 on the town debt.
The amount of notes and bonds outstanding against the town,
not including one of $20,000.00 for money borrowed in anticipa¬
tion of taxes, is $111,500.00. It will be necessary to provide for
one note of $5,500.00, which becomes due March 10, 1899; for
one of $12,000.00, due May 1, 1899, and for one due January 1,
1900, of $15,000.00.
SOLDIERS, RELIEF.
'I'he recjuirements for payments under the provisions of Chapter
447, Acts of 1890, continue to increase, and we see no probality
of their being any less for several years to come, than they have
been the past year. The appropriation w as $3,199.24, of which
there has been expended $3,072.82, leaving a balance of $126.42,
which is clearly insuflicient to complete the financial year.
There has been expended under the provisions of Chapter 570,
of the Acts of 1898, for soldiers and for families of soldiers who
are now’ in the service of the United States $113.65, for which no
appropriation w’as made.
GUIDE BOARDS.
'I'he guide boards wdiich are required to be provided, we report
as being in general in good condition, some of them will need to
be renewed during the coming season.
SUITS AT LAW.
At the beginning of 1898 two actions only were pending against
Weymouth, namely : The action of Henry C. Gardner v. Inhab¬
itants of Weymouth, and the action of Arthur Campbell v. Inhab¬
itants of Weymouth. The former of these is now pending, no
action in court having been had in the case since 1895, and the
14
latter action was tried by a jury at Dedham in May last with the
result of a verdict for the defendant.
On the 31st day of December a suit was commenced in the
Superior Court for Norfolk County by Thomas H. Humphrey and
two others vs. the Town of Weymouth^ to recover damages for
injury to their property by the overflow of water.
Detailed statements of the expenditures under the various ap¬
propriations will be found in their appropriate places.

SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS REPORT.
To the lioord of Selectmen of Weymotifh^
Gentlemen : — I lierewitli submit my report for the year ending
Dee. 81, 1898 :
NECK STREET.
Neck Street has been graded and graveled from North street to
Hriilge street.
COMMERCIAL STREET.
Commercial street has been repaired in different sections be¬
tween East Weymouth and Weymouth Landing.
WASHINGTON STHEF:T.
'riie hill in front of the residence of .John Green on Washing¬
ton street has been scraped dow n, the hollow east of the hill has
been filled up and the street has been graded west of the hill as
far as Shaw’s bridge.
-MIDDLE STREET.
Middle street has been scraped with the road machine from
John Carroll’s shop to Essex street, and fifty feet of twelve-inch
drain pipe has been laid near the residence of Orin Pratt. Also
at the corner of Washington street a heavy coat of gravel has
been placed, and a l>velve-inch pipe has been laid across from the
west corner on W ashiugton street to the river to prevent the
washouts that have occurred there every year. The hollow near
100
the resideuce of Saimiel Ross has been levelled up even with the
road, and the wall near the residence of (lary Nash has been re-
repaired
HROAD STRKET.
The north side of Broad street near the Franklin School has
been dug out to the depth of twelve inches and a good stone road
two hundred feet in length was built. The material taken out
was used on the roads in the immediate vicinity. The section be¬
tween Spring street and Hunt’s factory has been filled with atone,
and covered wdth gravel, and rolled down with the steam roller
making^ a good road. Near the Hunt Schoolhouse a new sidewalk
has been built, the old drain has been filled up, and 192 feet of
tw’clve-inch pipe has been laid.
STETSON STREET.
Nearly the whole of this street has been covered wdth gravel;
also a part of Front street adjoining it.
IM.EASANT STREET.
Pleasant street has been repaired with gravel from the residence
of Austin Shaw to that of Alvah Raymond. A stone road 800
feet long has been built running south' from Independence square.-
The road was dug out to a depth of 22 inches and a width of 26
feet. This was filled up wdth three sizes of stone; It was
thought best to dig it out to that depth owing to the springy na¬
ture of the land. The material taken out was used for grading
Central, Randolph and Pond streets, and for repairing sidewalks.
'Fhe street was graded from the end of this new road to the depot.
W'ASllOUTS.
Owing to the unusually heavy rains of the spring and summer a
great deal of patching has had to be done on the various roads
throughout the town.
101
SPKCIAL Al’PKOPKIAnONS.
Union Htreet has been completed to the Rockland line.

Philips street has been extended 375 feet. The road has been
built 30 feet wide and has been graded and given a good coat of
gravel.
Charles street has been graded, covered with gravel and rolled
from Clapp’s shop to Lake street.
The money appropriated for Summer street, has been used near
the residence of Warren Nadell. The ledge was removed and the
street was graded for 200 feet in a northerly direction.
The appropriation for Lake street was used to grade the hill and
fill up the hollow at the junction of Lake and Shawmut streets.
'I'he appropriation for the new street off Pleasant street, has
been used to good advantage. The street has been graded to a
width of 30 feet, from Pleasant street to the residence of Thomas
Kiernan, the ledge near the residence of Richard Connors, has
been taken out and the hill cut down 4 feet, a bridge 30 feet long
and 4 feet across w’as built and the hollow filled up 8 feet.
The retaining wall on Front street has been built to a distance
of VOO feet, the sidewalk rebuilt and a good substantial fence of
red cedai- posts and iron railings.

The state road has been completed from Bickuell square to
Neck street and has been accepted by the State Commissioners.
This makes a complete road from Quincy bridge to the Hingharn
bridge.

THE REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF
THE POOR.
'rhe Overseers of the Poor subniit herewith their aimual report
for the year ending December 31, 1898, together with the Audi¬
tor’s appraisal of property at the almshouse, made January 2,
1899
ALMSHOUSK.
At the beginning of the year Mr, and Mrs. Charles F. Atkinson
succeeded Mr. and Mrs. George B. Rolfe in the management of
the insitution. They have continued in control to the date of this
report and their sei'vices have been secured for the ensuing year.
One or more of the board have visited the liouse without an¬
nouncement ewery week, or oftener and have found at all times
the discipline to be good and the house to be in a cleanly and
comfortable condition. The inmates appear to be well cared for
and as contented as could be expected of them under any manage¬
ment wnich had the interests of the town as well as their comfort
under proper consideration. We have found the food always of
good quality, and of sufficient amount.
The farming operations have been well conducted and several
acres of new land brought under cultivation, and the superinten¬
dent has shown himself a man who strives to drive his work rather
than have his work drive him.
, No expenses of an extraordinary nature have been incurred on
account of the house or farm. An extension has been built
upon the sheds for the accommodation of the road machines at a
cost of $157.47. which' has been paid for from this account,
though not properly cliargeable to it.
We arc glad to show au unusually low cost for the establisb-
tnent) as will appear in the following detailed account, viz. :
$2,478.37, the per capita being Sl.7r).-(-
The number who have been inmates for the whole or a portion
of the year, not including boarders, and those having no settle¬
ment in this town and pay for whose support has been in part
received, and placed to the credit of the house, is thirty-seven.
'I'here have been four deaths during the year, as follows :
Robert Corthell, aged 75 years, who died January 17 ; Seth C.
Blackwell, aged 76 years, who died May 4 ; Michael McCarty,
aged 58 years, who died .June 29; and Henry Carr, aged 74
years, who died December 19.
By the operation of chap. 425, sec. 2, of the acts of 1898, four
of the inmates become state charges, and the state authorities
have been notitied accordingly.
'I'hc number of tramps who have been ^jrovided with food and
lorlgings has been 1 182, a decrease of 255 from the report of last
vear.
IlOSPrrALS, ETC.
'I'he cost at hospitals and other institutions has been S3, 109.47,
an increase of S538.88 over that of 1897.
J'he number of these cases has been 23, two greater than that
of last year, one of these is a case which has heretofore been paid
by relatives but which the town now has to assume.
All of the inmates of asylums, for wliose support the town pays,
have been visited by us during the year and their conditions found
to be as favorable as the circumstances of their res])ective cases
would warrant us to expect.
K)C)K Ol'T OF ALMSHOUSE.
We regret to be obliged to report this class of aid as still con¬
tinuing very heavy. After visiting all the cases at the beginning
of the year the whole list was revised and in most instances the
amounts were reduced from those of last year and we hoped to
158
make a material improvement in the showing of this department;
but with the new cases which it became necessary to take on this
hope has not been realized, and the close of the year shows but
$50.96 improvement over the report of last year, the cost for the
town’s poor out of the house being $7, ‘282. 02.
This is the only division of the poor department which is sus¬
ceptible of any reduction’ and it is not easy to see, if the present,
calls continue, how' a smaller amount can be made to serve the
purpose.
The method has been adopted in some ])laces of supplying the
outside poor from the almshouse with their groceries, and by pur¬
chasing at wholesale prices and charging an advance on this suf¬
ficient to cover the cost of distribution, a considerable saving is
said to be effected. We offer this suggestion as worthy of con¬
sideration, and perhaps of trial.
There has been a decided increase in the cost for the State poor
and for those having settlements in other places, the amount
being $1,588.43; that of 1897 was $854.95.
TOWN PHYSICIANS.
The following physicians were appointed for one year from
June 6 :
Dr. W. A. Drake, for Ward 1 and the Almshouse, at a salary
of $100 ; Dr. J. C. Fraser, for Ward 2, at $60 ; Dr. F. P. Virgin,
for Ward 3, at $50 ; Dr. K. H. Granger, for Ward 4, at $40 ; and
Dr. E. N. Mayberry, for Ward 5, at $50.
The appropriations at the last annual meeting were $16,895.84.
There has been expended $15,746, leaving an unexpended
balance of $1,149.10.

We have bt'eu vigorous iu the enforcement of the liquor law,
and as a result illegal business is confined to certain localities,
where a few’ old offenders live, and they either employ some one
to sell from the pocket, or have a neighbor conceal it for them,
thus making It very hard for an olficer to make a conviction. The
violation of the liquor law is the hardest crime to get a convic¬
tion, as they employ able counsel to defend them ; you cannot get
any evidence by summoning witnesses ; you have to rely on your
own evidence.
We have been assisted in our work by otlicers Peare, Pratt,
Allen, and Pease, and take this method of thanking them for their
assistance.

KF.PORT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD, ON THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE AT
NASH.
»
The article in the town warrant for 1897, asking for a new
school house at Nash, having been referred to the school board
for examination and report at this town meeting, the board,
therefore, begs leave to state, that after due examination of the
buildings and consideration of the request for a new building in¬
stead of the Shaw school, tliey find that such a building is needed
because of the overcrowding of the school houses at Nash.^ There
is an average of 50 pupils in rooms in these buildings, which are
only capable of properly accomodating 30, but this overcrowding
might be relieved by some consolidation of the higher grades.
A portion of the South High school l)uilding will not be needed
on the opening of the New High School, and might be used for
this purpose. ''
The school board, while feeling that a new building may soon
be needed at Nash, because of the overcrowding, also realize that
new buildings are needed in wards 1 and 3 for the same reason,
and it is a question which ought to be built first. The buildings
are in better repair now than they have been for fifteen years.
'I'hey have been newly painted, have new seats, new floors, and
slate blackboards, and if they were abolished, the money thus
spent upon them would be thrown away. The board feels that
even if a consolidation, could not be carried out, a change in the
school ward lines would relieve the overcrowding, and because of
the high taxation, they would recommend that the proposed build¬
ing be postponed until some other year. They would also recom¬
mend that when the new school house is built, it should be a mod¬
ern four-room building.
WILLIAM HYDE, JR.,
W. A. DRAKE,
GEORGE C. TORRh:Y,
JOSEPH CHASE, JR.,
HRADFORD HAWES,
H. FRANKLIN PERRY.
Voted, That the following resolutions offered by Amos W.
Blanchard be adopted ;
220
Resolved, That we, the voters of the town of Weymouth, in
annual town meeting, assembled on this day, do hereby express
our strong disapproval of the numerous overdrafts that have been
frequent in many of the financial departments of the town dur¬
ing past years, that the town looks with alarm upon an increasing
tendency to exceed the appropriations made at our annual meet¬
ings, that it is the desire of the voters of the town at this time to
impress the fact strongly upon the minds of all town officers, that
expenditures in excess of appropriations, except in extreme cases
of emergency and of absolute necessity, are strongly to be con¬
demned ; that spending more money than is appropriated by the
vote of the town is simply negativing and overriding the expressed
will of the voters, and renders their careful deliberations in town
meetings of no avail ; that in all cases, not of extreme emergency,
officers should wait to ask the town at special town meeting for
all needed money before incurring obligations in any department
beyond the sums devoted to such department by the town.
That this resolution is not intended as a criticism of any board
of officers, or as a reflection upon any board or individual for what
has occurred in the past, but its purpose is to check future over¬
drafts by recording, at this time, in plain terms the will of the
town.
Voted, That the Appropriation Committee be re<|uested to make
a report.
The report was read by their Secretary. '

By the voters of the Town of Weymouth, in town meeting assem¬
bled it is.
Resolved, That Whereas a general desire for economy in the
expenditures of the town has occasioned a reduction in the sum
appropriated for the support of the public schools of the town for
the ensuing year, and
Whereas the town was lead to believe that the consolidation of
the two high schools now existing would result in a reduction of
expenses for high school purposes, and
Whereas, it is believed that the town cannot afford to pay the
sum of eighteen hundred dollars for supervision of its schools dur¬
ing the ensuing 3’ear, now'.
Therefore it is the opinion and sentiment of the town that the
common-school system, including the grammar grades, should not
226
be sacrificed to the interests of the high school or to the cost of
supervision ,
That no additions to the course of study now furnished by the
high school, should be made during the coming year, if such addi¬
tions involve increased expense, unless the same be made without
reducing the salaries of the teachers in the common schools includ¬
ing the grammar grades ;
That the Superintendent of Schools should receive for his servi¬
ces a sum not exceeding fourteen hundred dollars for the year,
said sum of fourteen hundred dollars to be in full for such services
as may be rendered to the town by such superintendent, and
That the salaries of the teachers in the common schools includ¬
ing the grammar grades should not be reduced, unless necessity
compels such reduction as a last resort.

loan to, and for the use of the Town of Weymouth, in anticipation

able within one year from the time the loan is made.
The said debt or debts incurred by a loan or loans to the town
under this vote are to be paid from the said taxes of the present
municipal year.

lowing purposes, viz. : $17,800 for the payment of the interest
on the Weymouth water loan bonds’ becoming due the ensuing

REPORT OF THE ENGINEERS OF THE
, FIRE DEPARTMENT.
To the Board of Selectmen : —
Gentlemen: — As Chief of the Weymouth Fire Department I
hereby submit to you my fourth Annual Report of the Depart¬
ment for the year ending December Slst, 1898, and the twenty-
second of the present organization.
At the beginning of the year the Department was under control
of five Engineers, as follows : Otis Cushing, Chief ; W. O. Coll-
yer. Clerk ; Edward Fahey, Francis M. Drown and W. H. Hock¬
ing. On May 1st Mr. Drown was dropped from the Board and
James R. Walsh was appointed. By the removal of Mr. Drown
the Board lost one of its most zealous workers. He had the in¬
terests of the Department at heart, had identified himself with it
in various ways since its organization, and was always ready
when duty called. Mr. Walsh has since his appointment proved
himself an able successor.
The Department consists of one hundred and sixty-eight men
besides the Engineers and Superintendent of Fire Alarm, divided
into seven hose companies, four hook and ladder companies, three
men detailed for each steamer and five for the chemical.
The apparatus consists of seven hose wagons, four hook and
ladder trucks, two steam fire enginej* and one chemical. The
hook and ladder truck in Ward 3 has passed its usefulness, is un¬
safe for use, and we recommend the purchase of a modern truck
to take its place.
241
HriLi)iN(;s.
In the engine houses in Wards 1 and 3 the partitions have been
removdiJ and windows put in the doors, making the rooms large
and pleasant and more convenient for fire purposes.
Engine House, Hose 7, has been sheathed and windows placed
in the doors, and the house in Ward 2 has been painted and
shingled. What is now required for the benefit of the Depart¬
ment is the building of hose tow'ers for Houses 4 and 7.
Appropriations.
We recommend the following amount for expenses for the
year : —
Salaries of Firemen, Engineers, Stewards . . $2,400 00
Poll Taxes of Firemen refunded . . . . 336 00
For Fires and Engine House Supplies . ' . . 1,600 00
Hose ......... 1,000 00
Fire Alarm Supplies ...... 700 00
Five New Fire Alarm Boxes . , . . 500 00
$6,536 00
Alarms.
Whole number of alarms during the year . . 29
As follows : —
Ward 1 ........ . 10
Ward 2 ....... . 9
Ward 3 . 1
Ward 4 ....... . 5
Ward 5 . 6
Of these, six were false alarms.
The loss of property in Weymouth this year was nearly
($500,000) five hundred thousand dollars.
One second alarm was sounded.
Fire Alarm.
This branch of the service is giving good satisfaction. There
have been some extra blows at times caused by the wires getting
crossed with the electric wires ; but considering the severe storms
242
we have had they must be expected. We have had two very
hard storms this year doing considerable damage to the wires and
burning some of the boxes and gongs, making considerable extra
expense for repairs, but we were more fortunate than many other
towns around us in the damage done.
Through the courtesy of M. C. Dizer & Co. a gong has been
placed in the engine room of their factory. The alarm is taken
from that and given on his whistle, in the day time, which makes
it doubly sure, as the steam during that time is apt to be low at
the electric light plant.
Hose.
' The Department is sadly in need of hose. Some is needed in
every ward, especially in Ward 1, as several lengths of Hose
Company No. 1 were ruined at the Bradley fire.
In closing I wish to thank the members of the Department for
their co-operation in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the
Department, and the citizens in general for their aid in times of
need, and your Board for the courtesy shown myself and asso¬
ciates in all business transactions in which we have been con¬
nected.
Yours truly,
OTIS CUSHING,

Chief,

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE
TUFTS LIBRARY.
This twentieth annual report of the Board of Trustees of the
Tufts Library is respectfully submitted to the town of Weymouth,
as follows : —
The library was open for the delivery of books 304 days durinj^
the year 1898, — 63,869 volumes were circulated for home use,
an average of 210 volumes per day and 5,322 per month. The
largest number of books loaned in one day was 482 on February
23, and the smallest number loaned on any day was 38 on
August 15.
The decrease in the circulation of the year 1898, compared w’ith
the year 1897, is 6,004 volumes.
The circulation through the several agencis was 30,815 vol¬
umes, as stated below.
Precinct 1, Bartlett’s store ...... 4,537
Precinct 1, Holden & Sladen’s store .... 1,968
Precincts 2 & 6, Salisbury’s store .... 9,545
Precincts 2 & 6, Bates & Humphrey’s store . . 2,592
Precinct 4, Pratt’s store ...... 1,802
Precinct 4, Nash’s store . ' , . . . . 3,542
Precinct 5, Tinkham’s store & Fogg Library . . 6,829
30,815
The teachers have taken out 5,967 volumes on their special
cards, which is 86 volumes in excess of the number so taken in
the year 1897 ; but a much larger increase of borrowing on these
244
cards by the teachers in the grammar and lower grades could be
made with profit to their pupils, as shown by the requests at the
library by such pupils for useful books which had been loaned
them at school.
'Fhe marked decrease in the circulation of the library for the last
year is due principally to three distinct causes, namely : To the
reduction of three hundred dollars in the annual appropriation by
the town for its support; to the war with Spain ; and to the open¬
ing of the “ The Fogg Library.” Of these .causes the first-named
was more influential than both of the others, since neither of these
was operative to an appreciable degree for more than four mouths,
while the first-named compelled a reduction of one-half in the
number of additions to the library — the whole reduction in the
appropriation being necessarily taken from the book fund. Dur¬
ing the progress of the “ war” the attention of the reading pub¬
lic was largely devoted to “ daily newspapers,” and for a time the
library circulation was considerably diminished by this cause.
Since thre opening of “ The Fogg Library” in September the
reduction in the circulation of the town library in the fifth precinct
has fallen off about two-thirds. In addition to these causes the
fire in the library building occasioned some reduction in circula¬
tion in the month of December.
Classification of Circulation.
Arts, .027; Biography, .026; Fiction, including Juvenile Fic¬
tion, .703; History, .040; Literature, .027; Natural Science,
.026; Poetry, .018; Social Science, .014; Religion and Theol-
ogy, .003 ; Travels, .032 ; Periodicals, .084.
The number of accessions to the library to date is 19,310, —
472 volumes having been added during the year. Ninety-seven
volumes were gifts ; 40 magazines were bound and placed on the
shelves, and 335 volumes have been purchased ; 40 replacing worn
out copies.
Since opening the library in the year 1880, 818 books have
been withdrawn as worn out, 28 withdrawn as not desirable for
loaning, making a loss to the library of 846 volumes. Of these,
275 have been replaced, leaving 571 titles upon our catalogues
245
not reprcBented by books available for loaning ; but of this num¬
ber it will be desirable to purchase 234 as early as practicable.
The number of borrowers’ cards to date is 8,029.
At the last meeting of the Trustees the age limit at which chil¬
dren may take out a card was changed from 10 years to 9 years,
in the belief that so considerable a number of children of the
latter age are sulliciently interested in useful reading as to render
it desirable to afford them oj)portunity to enjoy this privilege.
The annual inspection of books was in the usual manner, and
six volumes are missing and unaccounted for. Two volumes
have not been returned after notice to the borrower.*
Many of the more popular books of fiction are badly worn and
should be discarded, but the means at the disposal of the Trustees
will not permit this, and the}' therefore are patched and loaned
anew to aid in meeting the great demand for books of the class to
wliich th(‘y belong.
One hundred and ninety-seven volumes have been rel)ouud,
and a very large number mended and covered at the library.
'riie annual classified bulletin was published as usual at the
close of the year, and is for sale at the library and its agencies.
'Fhe sum realized by tlie sale of the bulletins is only a small per
cent, of their cost.
Some of the more valuable books of the year’s additions are :
Hell’s Cathedral Series, Henderson’s Practical Klectricity and
Magnetism, Moore’s How to Build a Home, Livermore’s Story of
My Life, Appleton’s Annual C'yclopa*dia, 'Fhe Annual Jfiterary
Index and Index to Periodical Literature, The Statesman’s Year
Hook, 1898, Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Kevolu-
tionary War (volume 4), Walsh’s Curiosities of Popular Customs,
Bradford’s History “Of Plimotli Plantation,” Hart’s American
History 'Fold by Contemporaries, Xe well’s King Arthur and the
'Fable Round, Warner’s Library of the World’s Best l.,iterature
(volumes 21-30), Britton and Brown’s Illustrated Flora of Xorth-
ern United States, Canada and the British Possessions (volume
3), Schneider’s (iuide to the Study of Lichens, Baldwin’s* Mental
Development in the Child, Barrows’ Isles and Shrines of Greece,
Bishop’s Korea and Her Neighbors, DeWindt’s Through the Gold¬
fields of Alaska to Bering Straits, Ford’s American Cruiser in the
246
East, Foreman’s Philippine Islands, Paton’s Picturesque Sicily,
Peary’s Northward of the Great Ice, Story’s Building of the
British Empire, Bryce’s Impressions of South Africa, Baldwin’s
Social and Ethical Interpretations in Mental Development, and
Clerk’s Astronomy.
“ The steady growth of the demand for books,” to which we
referred with much gratification in our last annual report, has
been arrested during the past year, temporarily we hope ; but the
situation imperatively demands the earnest consideration of every
friend of the maintenance of a useful, free public library, avail¬
able for all classes of readers and for all sections of the town.
Under a misapprehension of the facts of the case, by the reduc¬
tion, at its last annual meeting of its usual appropriation for the
support of the library from two thousand dollars to seventeen hun¬
dred, the town diminished the fund available for the purchase of
books nearly one-half, rendering it impossible to supply the library
with more than a small fraction of the current popular literature
suitable for circulation through its agency. The records of the
library show that seventy per cent, of its loans have been from
the class known as “ Fiction;” but the whole sum available the
past year for the purchase of books, would not have sufficed to
supply the usual number of accessions to the library in this de¬
partment. The past year, however, was an especially unfavor¬
able one for the trial of such an experiment, since books treating
of the Klondike, of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands
had become of paramount interest to all classes of readers, and
the supply for this demand was to be fii’st provided, and in ad¬
dition to these a considerable number of volumes of serial works,
of which the library owned the previous volumes, were issued
during the year and could not well be rejected.
The small number of accessions to the library, especially in the
class of fiction, has, in the judgment of the Trustees, been largely
influential in reducing the circulation from 69,?^73 volumes in 1897
to 63,869^volumes in 1898. While we would not claim that a
principal object in maintaining a free public library is the foster¬
ing of a love for the reading of fiction, yet w'e firmly believe that
such a library cannot be maintained in any town in which the
principal pecuniary support is derived from town appropriations.
247
♦ xcept b}’ making: this department most prominent, since, when a
majority of its patrons cease to find on its shelves books which
interest them, they will not vote the needed support. It is a
question of the choice of the majority, and we must have what
pleases them or have none. But the history of the Tufts Library,
•during its almost 20 years of existence, has been an unusually
successful one, not alone in the extent and giowth of circulation,
but in its effect in fostering a love and appreciation for the
best literature.
It has ever been the purpose of the trustees and librarians to
■exclude from its list of accessions every book believed to be of
demoralizing tendency, and to select from the great number of
•current publications, as far as practicable, those works possessing
much litcrai*y merit and wholesome in their moral iufiuence; and
we believe its influence in all ways and, especially through the
medium of our scliools has been instructive and elevating ; and
the fact that the percentage of fiction loaned, in our largely in-
cTeased circulation has decreased nearly eight per cent., is
strongly confirmatory of this view.
The recent death of Francis Ambler, Esq., has deprived this
board of one of its early and most efficient members. As a mem¬
ber of both its standing committees he was ever a helpful and
interested officer, and we deeply mourn his loss to the library to
which he was an earnest and influential friend from a period sev¬
eral years antecedent to its organization, and without faltering
to the day of his death. I^ersonall}' we also mourn his loss as of
a brother w’ell beloved.
HEADING ROOM.
The reference department and reading room have been well
patronized but there is still room for more' readers and students.
This department contains many of the best and most necessary
woiks of reference on its open shelves, but many other books
should be purchased as soon as possible that every one may find
those needed for even special research. The large expense of
dictionaries, cyclopedias, atlases, and other like w'orks, renders
the ptnsonal ownership of them impracticable to a large class of
students, and therefore it is desirable that they be found on our
reference shelves.
248
The “ Census Reports/’ and the “ Official Records of the War
of the Rebellion/’ a valuable set presented by Col. B. S. Lovell
have been moved to the book room where they may be consulted
in 'quiet. The fine maps have been bound in two volumes and
will be of great use to students of our Civil War.
Appendix B contains a full list of all the periodicals to be found
at the library. The new ones added for 1899 are the “Cumula¬
tive Index/’ a most valuable tool for students, the “Overland
Monthly,” and the “ Popular Science, News.”
A full list of donors to the library is given in Appendix A.
We wish to thank all who have been thoughtful of the library in
this way. Mrs Mary A. Livermore, a former resident of the town,
has presented an autograph copy of her “ Story of My Life”, and
Mr. Bradford Torrey, who was born in Weymouth, but who now
resides in Boston, has given three of his books; “Spring Notes
from Tennessee”, “A Rambler’s Lease”, and “Bird’s in the
Bush”, each containing his autograph. These books will form
a nucleus of a department of books whose authors were born or at
some time resided in Weymouth, w'hich w^e hope from time to time
to add to. Mr. John J. Loud has given copies of his patriotic
music. Rev. H. S. Snyder has loaned the Congregationalist.
Mrs. S. Newdon Blake has furnished the Electrical World, Mr.
%
John H. Gutterson, The Musician, a popular magazine, and other
valuable magazines have been given to the reading room by the
publishers wnich are listed in Appendix B. We also extend our
thanks to the libraries that have sent us their bulletins, some con¬
taining valuable reference lists.
ART EXHIBITIONS.
One special feature of the year has been the entertaining and
instructive exhibitions of photographs, five of which have been
held.
The first, illustrating our National Library with its rich orna¬
mentation, was loaned by the Woman’s Travelling Library Club.
This was well arranged, and gave all who made it a study a good
idea of the beautiful building.
The second, a loan collection of photographs by amateurs,
proved such an attraction that the pictures were hung for four
249
j
weeks. Those who so kindly loaned the photographs were Mr.
William A. Allen, Miss Virn Hates, Miss A. B. Blanchard, Mr.
Granville Bowditch, Mr. Elbiii Lord, Mr. F. W. Raymond, Miss
Annie E. Richards, Master C. L. Virgin, Dr. C. P. Whittle, Mr.
T. P. Willey and Mr. A. PL Worthen. We wish again to thank
them.
The third exhibit w'as the Peabody Collection of Photographs
of New PLigland Scenery, giving beautiful views of the AVhite
Mountain region. These were loaned by the Library Art Club,
and attracted a goodly number of visitors.
The fourth, another collection from the same source, was pho- .
tographs of the beautiful city of Venice. These, 200 in number,
were hung in the Reading Room, which made an excellent art
gallery.
They proved most interesting and instructive, and it was grat¬
ifying to receive a sum of money tow'ards defraying the expenses
of the exhibition from one who had appreciated and enjoyed the
beautiful pictures.
The other was of the extra colored plates received with the
nmgazinc “ Birds.” These were mounted on manilla paper and
hung in the Delivery Room. The bright colors made an inter¬
esting exhibition for the children.

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS.
In accordance with their usual practice the Park Commissioner*
of Weymouth hereby submit their annual report:
The lack of an appropriation to-be expended upon any of the
parks has precluded any active work in the development of our
reservations, and in the case of Webb Park, even of the proper
care of the same.
There is therefore little to report as to our doings during the
past year. We have received for pasturage from the park on
Great Hill the sum of thirty-five dollars, and have expended
in the care of Beals Park the sum of thirty-four and dollars.
A'^detailed report of receipts and expenditures for the past two
yeai*s is appended hereto marked “A.” We renew our recom¬
mendations of last year.

h'or itemized statement see report of the superintendent.
At the annual tOMii meeting of March 7 last, it was voted to
instruct the Water Commissioners to reduce the salary of
the superintendent of the works to SI, 400 per annum. 'I'he
term of Mr. Ities’s engagement having expired on the sixth
day of December, 1897, he Mas on that date re-appointed by
the board for one year at a salary of SI, 800, he to furnish his own
team. This M as the same amount M'hich he had received since 1890,
wnsequently the reduction as voted b}’ the town could nottake effect
until the expiration of this term. The appointment was made in ac¬
cordance with our usual custom and dated from the time when the
contractor delivered the w'orks over to the town upon the completion
of his contract in 1885. It has been renewed from year to year
since that time. In addition to the regular duties of his office our
superintendent acts as w^ater registrar and also as collector, with¬
out additional compensation. Inquiry has satisfied the board
that the expenses connected with the offices of superintendent,
water registrar and collector, are less in Weymouth at a salary of
$1,800 per year for these services, than they are in neighboring
cities and lowms having works of like extent and also that they are
less proportionally than in most of the towns having smaller sys¬
tems. These matters were carefully considered by the first board
of commissioners when making the appointment, and the present
board are unanimously of the opinion that by combining these
duties undei’ one head, the town has been enabled to pay a salary
sufficient to command the services of a man thoroughly competent
to take charge of the w^orks in all their details, -to make necessary
repairs and to carry out all ordinary improvements and extensions
and at the same time this has been accomplished at less expense
to the town than would have been the case had these duties been
divided.
The cost of maintenance and extensions in our town will com¬
pare favorably with that of other towms, as their reports will
show, and we consider our course in tbis matter to be fully justi¬
fied by the results. With a system as extensive and complicated
as our owm it would be a very easy matter for an inexperienced
.superintendent to cause an expenditure many times exceeding the
amount of his salary. Our system has cost the town some $470,-
000, and is as good as any in the vState and in first-class (condi¬
tion.
'rhe Commissioners feel assured that the towui is not ready to
try experiments upon works of so much value by the employment
of any one who has not full experience in the duties connected
with their management, and we hope, wdien this matter receives
the careful attention of the voters of the town, that the salary of
the superintendent w’ill bo fixed at the amount asked for by the
Board, viz., $1,800. We have continued Mr. George W. Sar-
263
>rent in our sei'vice as P^ngineer at the Pumping Station at the
same salary as last year.
An appropriation of 83,000 is asked for the purpose of making
such extensions as may be deemed necessary during the ensuing
year; also an appropriation from the revenue of the works, to be
applied as follow’s :
Interest on bonds
Payment to sinking fund
Superintendent’s salary
Maintenance of works .

SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT.
To the Board oj Water Commissioners : ■
Gentlemen, — 1 respectfully submit my annual report for the
year ending December 81, 1898.
POND.
The water in the pond has been very high during the entire year
and for the last four months has been allowed to run to waste.
Samples of water have been sent as usual to the State Board of
Health for examination, and the analysis of same will be found
following this report.
PUMPING STATION.
Some slight repairs have been needed on buildings. One new
tube has been put into boiler No. 1.
In the past the only way tubes could be replaced was to break
a hole through the rear end of the boiler setting, and also through
the rear end of the building which took considerable time and ex.
pense.
During the latter part of the winter two recesses were made in
the front wall of the building, in front of boiler, large enough and
deep enough so that in the future the tubes can all be put in from
the front, and can be done much quicker and with less expense.
'I'he sleeve joints in the force mains in front of the building
have given us more or less trouble by leaking, and in order to
get at them to repair we were obliged to excavate a hole down to
them, which was an expense and delay. It was thought best to
283
exU'nd the* man-hole from the clieck valve in front of the building
to and through the foundation wall, so that we could at all times
get at this joint without any trouble.
The drain leading from the scale pit has been taken up and re-
laid, in order to keep the water out, so that the scales could be
used and to prevent them from rusting.
STAND .PIPE.
The water was drawn out of the stand pipe and the bottom
cleaned. The whole inside should have been thoroughly cleaned
and painted, to prevent it from rusting through, which it will do
in a very few years if it is not kept well painted. 1 consider it
necessary to paint it every year.
MAINS.
During the early spring our whole pipe system was goue over,
divided into sections and the pipes thoroughly Hushed out. I
would recommend that the same thing be done again this spring.
Fifteen hundred and forty-three and one-half feet of main pipe
have been laid as shown by the table following this report.
'I'otal length of main pipe now in use is 58 miles, 2992.6 feet.
Six leaks have been detected and repaired. So far as can be
seen now lu) leaks of anv size exist.
HYDRANTS.
One new hydrant has been set this year, making total number
uow in use 367. The}’ are in fair condition, but should all be
gone over this spring,* examined, oiled and most of them re¬
packed.
'I'wo hydrants on Rridge street were 8(‘t back to conform to the
State Highway regulations.
284
GATES.
The gates are in good condition. All decayed wooden boxes
have been replaced with iron ones.
SERVICE pjpp:s.
Eight hundred and three leaks have been reported and investi¬
gated, six have been repairs in iron and lead pipes and stop
cocks in street, seven hundred and ninety-seven have been re¬
ported in pipes and fixtures on premises, these have been partly
repaired by occupants or owners.
Of the total number of leaks stated above eight* hundred and
one were reported by the inspector as the result of the annual
canvas, they were distributed as follows : —
Five hundred and three on faucets two hundred and seven on
ball-cocks and ninety-one on pipes and shut-offs.
Fifty-two new service pipes have been laid and sixteen old ser¬
vices have been re-laid as follows : —

The amount necessary to pay the salaries of teachers and jani¬
tors to April 1, 1899, will exceed $10,000, which leaves a defi¬
cit of $4,500.
The above deficit has been brought about by the following con¬
ditions : — ‘
First — The town voted at the annual town meeting to reduce
the appropriation for the support of schools $2,373, which was
followed by a vote which practically prevented the committee from
reducing the expenses of maintenance. .
Second — It became imperatively necessary to make some ex¬
pensive repairs on several buildings or close the schools.
Third — Owing to a phenomenal increase in the number of pupils
in our High School, the dilapidated condition of die High School
text-books, the additional chemicul and physical apparatus and
the establishment of a new' school at Weymouth Heights, a much
larger supply and miscellaneous account was unavoidable.
The School Committee assume that it is not within their prov¬
ince to question or criticise the action of the town as voted in a
town -.meeting. We are but serv'ants of the people, and must
carry out the instructions of the voters, regardless of results, so
far as lies within our power. Nevertheless, we are obliged to
maintain the schools, and when the people see fit to pass votes

that are practically impossible to carry out or even to approxi¬
mately comply with, the only choice for your committee is' to
exercise the most ri^id economy, and keep the schools up to their
present standard. '
'I'his uncontrovertible fact should be plain to any intelligent
man who would give any study to our school system — that less
money means poorer schools and vice versa. There are certain
fixed charges in our school expenses that are beyond the power ■
of any committee to change. The only reductions that it is
possible to make are the salaries of teachers and janitors and
repairs of school houses. As has been repeatedly expressed in
P)wn meeting, such a policy of reduction would be little less than
suicidal. For several years past the committee have been obliged
to omit making many necessary repairs. It has seemed to be the
policy of the town to pay little attention to the reports of the
School Committee on the condition of our school houses, and, as
a natural result, the buildings are fast becoming dilapidated and
causing expenses, where a ditTerent policy would have been
economy. While we have not enumerated in our reports all the
repairs necessary for each building, we have for many years
called your attention, both in the annual reports and in town
meeting, to our needs and the want of foresight in appropriating
Hf) small an amount for repairs.
Kvery year each school building and room is systematically ex¬
amined and careful estimates made as to the requirements for
repairs and the cost of the same, and at no lime for several years
has the most conservative estimate fallen below ^5, (>00.
'Then the study has been, not to do the work, but to see how' little
we could do in order to keep within the appropriation. 'I'he old
maxim that ‘‘A stitch in time saves nine,” was never more truly
.verified than it has been, and will continue to be in the case of
our school houses if the present policy is continued.
During the past year it has been imperatively necessary to
relay several floors that had become unsafe, to rebuild and repair
outbuildings that had become unfit for use and to refurnish sev¬
eral rooms where the furniture was past repair and had become
dangerojis. Whatever has been done has been completed in a
thorough and w’ork manlike manner. No buildings have been
8
painted for three years. During the past year the committee
have expended about $3,000 for repairs. While we fully realized
that every cent spent for repairing our school buildings was add¬
ing to an inevitable deficit, we were obliged to decide, between
the expenditure, leaving the premises unsafe to occupy, or closing
some of the schools.
The bills for school supplies have been unusually large owing
to the consolidation of the two High Schools. Many of the text
books which were in use in the old building were in such a condi¬
tion that it was impossible to move them and distribute them
again to other pupils and teachers, Besides there were in school
a larger number ^f pupils than ever before in the history of the
town. The expense of providing text books for the freshmen is
about $10.00 per pupil. This with the additions and repairs to
our physical and chemical apparatus and the furnishing a new
school at Weymouth Heights has cost nearly $1,000. Another
year this account should not exceed that of previous years.
We desire to call your attention to the fact that, all things con¬
sidered, the regular school supply account has been the smallest
per pupil of any town or city, approximately the size of Wey¬
mouth, in the Commonwealth. This has been accomplished by
the very careful supervision of our superintendent, and, where
possible, by competitive bids for furnishing the material.
Against the supply account is charged everything used in the
school room, such as maps, books, paper, apparatus, pencils,
slates, brooms, stove supplies, mats, etc. Many towns charge
much of this to other accounts which lessens the apparent cost
per pupil.
The miscellaneous expense account has been greater than for
several years, owing to the many expenses caused by changing
our High Schools, clearing up the old buildings and starting new
schools in the Adams and Howe buildings. The estimate given
the Appropriation Committee and reported at the town meeting
was not acted upon by either body. Hereafter this account will
not exceed the average for the past few years.
Owing to the increased number of pupils in ihe Adams and
fifth and sixth grades in the Athens School, it became necessary
to furnish another room and start a new school at Weymouth
9
Heighlb. Additional assistants have been employed in the
Athens* and in the Bates schools, owing to the large increase in
membership.
The estimates for the ensuing year are as follows :
Salaries of teachers and superintendent
. $32,500 00
Janitors, fuel and cleaning .
•
4,800 00
'Text books and supplies
•

income from alewife fund . . 252 00
'I'otal . 747 00
Leaving a balance to be raised by
taxation of .... . $48,828 00
'I'he amount paid for teachers’ and superintendent’s salaries last
year will be increased the coming year by the new school at Wey¬
mouth Heights and the probable necessity of establishing another
school in Ward 1 . The Athens Grammar school will have at least
seventy pupils in three grades in one room. It seems to us that
this fact is a sufficient argument in favor of the proposed school.
One teacher cannot successfully handle over forty pupils in a
Grammar school.
At the last annual Towm Meeting the salary of the superin¬
tendent was reduced ; the committee unanimously re-elected Mr.
Norcross in accordance with this vote commencing at the beginning
of the school year. As we said before, it is not our province to
question the action of the town or criticise the source of such
action. Nevertheless, we feel that the question of employing*
some one to fill this office should be left wholly with the com¬
mittee, unhampered by any action of the Town.
The salary that this town has paid for about eighteen years was-
10
established after a very thorough investigation by a careful and
competent committee. This salary has never been increased al¬
though the requirements have been growing more exacting each
year. We trust that the appropriation committee will ascertain
the amounts paid superintendents in adjoining towns and in places
having about the same number of pupils as there are in Wey¬
mouth.
REPAIRS NECESSARY FOR THE ENSUING YEAR.
While we have given in our estimate for another year the sum
of $3,000 as the amount necessary for repairs, it must not be
assumed that this is a sufficient sum to put the buildings in first-
class condition. That would cost several thousand dollars more.
The estimate covers only such work as is imperatively necessary.
The sills, posts and other parts of the frame of the Athens
building are decaying. The rooms are dingy and generally out of
repair. The building should be painted. Competent builders
have estimated that $1,000 will be necessary to put this build¬
ing in good repair.
The River school house is built on a side hill in a clay soil, with¬
out a cellar; the foundation has been thrown by the frost so that
it will have to be raised and repaired. The inside must be painted
and the seats repaired. The ground should be newly graded in
order to protect the yard and building. This work will cost
$200.
The Adams schoolhouse should be thoroughly overhauled. The
cellar is wet and unhealthy and the condition of the outbuildings
and surroundings is such that the health of the pupils is endan¬
gered. This is a just cause of complaint by those residing in that
vicinity. It will cost $500 to put the building in good repair.
In Ward 2 there have been practically no repairs made on the
houses for several years. Three of the buildings should be
painted ; all of the rooms except the Ph-anklin should be whitened
and the woodwork varnished.
The Jefferson building has not been painted since*it was built.
The repairs in this ward will cost at least $1,200.
The outbuildings at the Hunt, Lincoln and Tufts schools ought
11
to be replaced by new ones. 'Phey are a constant menace to the
health of the pupils and near residents, and the complaints to the
committee come loud and often. The conditions here are not
conducive either to cleanliness or good morals. Some of the floors
must be relaid during the coming summer and all of the rooms
should be whitened and painted or varnished. New seats and
desks will be required for one room. 'Fhe estimates for the ward
are SI ,600.
The Holbrook building should be painted inside and out and
new blackboards are required for the schoolroom.
The Pratt schoolhouse should have a considerable amount of at¬
tention during the coming year. The sills are rotten and much of
the woodwork should be replaced. This building is sadly in need
of paint. New blackboards should be placed in the lower rooms.
The Shaw schools should be whitened inside and some other re¬
pairs of a minor nature made. These buildings are in fairly good
condition. Slate black boards should be put into the grammar
and primary rooms.
At the Hates school much work is needed. First, we should
paint the building both outside and in. A new heater ought to
take the place of the one now in use. The cellar is damp, water
often standing in it two or three inches in depth; it ought to be
newly cemented and w'ell drained. The fence is down, and new
seats must be put into one room, and new stairs should be built
inside the building.
'Fhe Howe school has been occupied by lower grades since the
removal of the High school to the new building. New outbuild¬
ings ought to be constructed, the cellar drained and a large
amount of work done inside the house.
The Thomas school needs new seats and should be painted.
'I'he Hollis should be renovated inside.
In addition to the above enumeration there should be added the
annual outlay for the repairs of heaters, amounting to $250 ;
ako the incidental repairs — like setting glass, repairing seats, etc.
— amounting to $150.
It will be seen by the above that the total amount necessary to
put our school houses in as good repair as they were six years ago
12
will necessitate an outlay of at least $5,000, and will require m
much as the committee has estimated to do that which is abso¬
lutely necessary.
The most important event in connection with our schools dur¬
ing the past year was the dedication of and opening the new High
School on June 30.
The following was the program :
Music, “Gloria,” High School chorus; invocation. Rev. H. C.
Alvord ; chant, “ Lord’s Prayer,” High School chorus; report of
building committee, by Chairman W. A. Drake ; presentation of
keys by Architect Geo. F. Loring ; reception of keys, Hon. James
Humphrey for building committee ; acceptance of the building by
Bradford Hawes, for the school committee; music, “American
Hymn,” High School chorus ; address, Hon. F. A. Hill, Secre¬
tary State Board of Education; music, “ Yachting Glee,” chorus;
music, “America,” chorus and audience, benediction, Rev. Frank
B. Cressey.
The music was under the direction of Mr. A. J. Sidelinger, Mr.
Arthur M. Raymond, pianist.
Mr. Douglass M. Easton presented the school with his valua¬
ble collection of geological specimens.
Miss Ella Sheppard in behalf of the Monday Club, presented
the School Board with a picture by Mario, entitled, “ Vision of
St. Anthony.” Col. Henry A. Thomas represented 500 of the
alumni in the presentation of the bust of “ Minerva,” and ten
slabs of frieze from the “ Parthenon.”
Superintendent of Schools, I. M. Norcross, responded for the
committee, accepting the presentations.
The ushers were R. E. Bicknell, Geo. P. Hunt and R. B.
W orster.
Since school opened there have been presented a frieze by
the class of ’97, two engravings and a large oil painting by M. C.
Dizer.
A committee from the class of ’99, consisting of Masters Ray¬
mond, Sheehy and Lynch, have solicited from the town’s people a
sufficient sum to furnish the gymnasium. This has been com¬
pleted and is as w ell appointed as the school requires ; the cost
was over $700.
13
The building is quite complete in its arrangements, and, with a
small outlay in the laboratories and small lecture rooms, w'ill be
all that the town can wish for as a High School for many years to
come.
It became necessary, ^as a matter of economy in saving fuel, to
cover the steam pipes in the basement with non-conducting mate¬
rial. This has just been completed at a cost of about $230.
The heaters are now being worked in an economical and satisfac¬
tory manner, th(‘ building being well warmed and ventilated. It
will take about 100 tons of soft coal each year to heat the build¬
ing, which will be less than it cost to heat the old buildings.
It will be remembered that at the last annual town meeting it
was voted to divert the $2,100 received from the sale of bonds
from the building .fund, which act compelled the Building Com¬
mittee to pay all the expenses of printing, advertising and selling
the bonds, which amounted to about S7o. This mone}' was much
needed to complete some work around the building which has
been left undone. The grading on the lot has been carefully
planned and drawings made, the completion of which would have
cost about 81,000.
The town at tlie last annual meeting appropriated 81,000 for
the transportation of pupils who reside a long distance from the
schools which they are required to attend. As this was a reduc¬
tion of about 50 per cent., the committee decided to furnish con¬
veyance to pupils residing near the town house and on Summer
street who attend school in Ward 3, and to pupils residing in the
south part of the ,town who attend the High School. Special
cases have been furnished with tickets where distance or physical
condition rendered it impossible to walk. Tickets have been
furnished the teachers, to be distributed for use on stormy days
to pupils who reside over one and a half miles from the school
houses. Under this arrangement,' pupils residing in Wards 1, 2
and 3 must walk to and from the High School. Those residing
in Wards 4 and 5 receive free transportation. So far as we can
learn, there have been very few complaints, the arrangements
meeting with the approval of both pupils and parents.
As the above arrangements are partly experimental, we arc not
prepared at the present time to recommend that they be continued
14
or changed. Should the appropriation be insufficient to continue
the conveyance until the close of the year, the committee will be
obliged to suspend all transportation for all parts of the town.
The following is a statement of the expense for transportation
for the past year : —
Balance on hand January 1, 1898 .... $1,047 10
Appropriated March, 1898 ..... 1,000 00
1 otal ........
Expended from January 1, 1898, to January 1, 1899
$2,047 10
1,669 75
Balance on hand January 1, 1899 . . . $377 35
The appropriation for the ensuing year should be at least
$1,500.00, if the present arrangements are to be continued.
In closing we cannot refrain from calling your attention to the
necessity of careful consideration of the wants of our schools, by
the appropriation committee. This large appropriation ought
not to be disposed of in one hour’s sitting and a report made to the
town, but only after careful consideration in all its details, care¬
fully investigating the work done and the requirements of the
town and the expenses incurred as well as the estimates for the
ensuing year, ought the report of the appropriation committee be
accepted. We regret that in previous years this has never
been done. We are ready to give the greatest freedom and assist
that committee to understanding the conditions as they exist and
will do all in our power to carry out their wishes.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERIN¬
TENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
To the School Coiainittee of Weffmouth:
(U:ntlk.mkn, — 1 herewith respectfully submit ?ny ninth annuiil
report of the public schools of this town. .
In order to give place for a full report of the Building Com¬
mittee of the new High School and a short account of the dedica¬
tion exercises, my report will be as brief as is consistent with the
best interests of the schools.
d'he past year has been one of general progress. We have not
attained that degree of excellence which we anticipated, but our
future prospects are encouraging. Our teachers are faithful to
the trusts given into their hands and seek in many ways to im¬
prove themselves in scholarship and efliciency. During the past
year lifty-oiie have read regularly one or more educational papers;
forty-two one or more professional magazines ; thirty-three one
or more educational books ; ten have been members of literary
circles ; sixteen have taken lessons upon subjects directly con¬
nected with school work, and eighteen lessons on other subjects;
three have attended summer classes; thirty-three have made their
rooms more attractive by pictures, plants, etc. ; and every teacher
has visited from three to six schools and attended from four to
twelve educational lectures.
As to previous professional training, nine are college trained,
sixteen normal trained and sixteen from training classes.
If the above records were compared with the training and edu¬
cational activity of the teachers of ten years ago a very great im¬
provement would be noted.
10
Our schools have never been so well equipped with trained and
growing teachers as they are to-day, and returns for money ex¬
pended have never been so great.
The following summary of statistics, presented in the usual
form to facilitate comparison, will be easily understood. In the
appendices will be found special reports from the High School
Principal, and the Instructor of Music, the graduation exercises,
and other matters of interest pertaining to the schools.

The total enrollment for the school year ending .June 24, 1898,
was 2,41.*) which is an increase of 30 over the previous year,
and largest ever reported. The per cent of attendance (94.4)
was ver}" large considering the severe weather during some of the
months and the large amount of sickness. It is sometimes said
that figures do not show the elficiency of a school, but they cer¬
tainly do indicate in a large sense the degree of interest that the
pupils and parents take in the school, and the personal element of
the teacher. 'I'he teachers who are unable to train the pupils in
babits of jvunctuality and regularity, are usually unable to secure
the best intellectual efforts from the pupils when in school.
The number of dismissals for the year (6,393) was much larger
than it should have been. A large proportion of them however
was for carrying dinners and. papers. Now that the schools close
at 11.4.5 in the forenoon and at 3.30 throughout the year in the
afternoon the dismissals should be greatly reduced. One hundred
and sixty-five pupils were not absent and 1,473 were not tardy
once for the year.
'Fhe follow’ing tables give the highest and lowest records in
altendance and punctuality. It is not an entirely just compari¬
son for size and grade are not taken into account. An exact com¬
parison may be made b}' referring to the summary of teachers’
reports in the appendix.

CHANGES OF TEACHERS.
From Jan. 1, 1898, to Jan. 1, 1899, twelve teachers retired
from the teaching force. Several of these changes occurred dur¬
ing term time, and thereby increased greatly the work of the
management of the schools. Miss P^mma P\ Parker and Miss
L. Gertrude Bates had been in the service for many years. By
their faithful and conscientious labor they had won a large circle
of friends and are greatly missed by their associates. Miss
Parker resigned to accept a more lucrative position in Lexington,
and Miss Bates on account of sickness in her family. Miss
Stella Tirrell, who was given a leave of absence to take an extra
course at Bridgewater Normal School, returned to her class in
September.
The first of April, 1898, J. Cuthbert Johnson, an assistant in
the North High school, passed away after a very short illness.
Mr. Johnson, although he had been connected with the high
school but a short time, had won the respect and confidence of
his pupils and associate teachers. His, heart was in the work
for which he freely gave his life. In moral* and Christian charac¬
ter he was a worthy example to his pupils and to the community.

HIGH SCHOOL.
The new High School building was opened in September and is
now oc^ciipied for high school purposes. It is a w^ell planned build¬
ing, e(juipped with the latest improved furniture, well lighted, and
has one of the best heating and ventilating systems now in use.
'I'he grounds about the building are ample, and when properly
graded will give our high school as beautiful a location as any in
the state.
The inside of the building has been made more attractive by
numerous works of art presented to the school by past graduates,
graduate classes and citizens. By the generosity of our citizens
the gymnasium has been thoroughly equipped and the botanical
and geological cabinets greatly enlarged. These additions are a
source of delight to the pupils who show their appreciation by in¬
creased application and a marked improvement in their work.
In my last report I stated that our high schools had necessarily
been largely classical in their work ; that few pupils had received
^e training best suited to their physical and mental development;
that pupils desirous of gaining some practical knowledge and skill
in certain lines of work were obliged to pursue their studies in
other places ; and that many pupils left school before graduating,
because the subjects taught in the upper classes were not of suffi¬
cient practical value to warrant spending the extra time in school.
Nine-tenths of all the pupils in the high school do not continue
their studies in higher institutions, why then should they not be
given, in the high school, lines of work more in accord with their
educational needs? The course of study adopted last year by
your committee recognized those needs, and in a good degree pro¬
vided for them, but for lack of funds the course is not being car¬
ried out. The reduced number attending the high school is the
result. During the past year many pupils have told me that they
left school because the new course of study was not to be taken
up.
At the beginning of the present school year, many pupils were
unable to decide upon the course they wished to take, because no
course presented all the subjects which the}^ desired to pursue.
This source of injustice to the large number of pupils who must
so soon earn their own livelihood should not be allowed to con¬
tinue. The High School is the poor man’s college, the poor boy’s
rightful heritage, and should be jealously guarded. Its courses
should be broadened and deepened, until the child of every labor¬
ing man is given an opportunity for mental development along
lines fitted to his capacities and possibilities.
H ECO M M E N DAT I ( )N S .
1 wish to call the attention of the committee to several needed
imprcvements in and about the school buildings.
The Athens building is sadly in need of repairs. The sills are
nearly all decayed, and in many places can be picked to pieces
with the fingers. In several places the wood has fallen away and
left holes large enough to be seen by people passing in the street.
To delay making thorough repairs upon this building another
year would be to practice false economy. The building is an
object lesson of neglect to citizens and pupils of that ward.
The cellars in the Adams, Bates and Howe buildings should be
drained as soon as possible. riiey are a menace to the health of
28
th«* rhiUiren attending these sohwls. At the Howe building the
<*old air passages have been so nearly tilled Vith water several
times this winter that enough cold air could not be forced
through them to supply the furnaces. The rooms have, there¬
fore, been poorly heated and ventilated. The water frequently
rises in the furnaces nearly to the fire boxes. If this is allowed
to continue new furnaces will be required in a short time.
'rhe fences in the yards of the Franklin, 'I'ufts, Hunt and
Hates schools should be thoroughly rei>aired. Flower gardens
and dilapidated fences will not combine to make even contrasted
harmonv.
'riie outbuildings at the Hickuell and 'Fufts have long been a
source of annoyance. Only the good natures of the people living
near these schools have kept them from appealing to the Hoard of
Health for redress. 'I'hese old buildings, should be replaced by
new and inodern ones.
'I'he accommodations for pupils at the Shaw should receive tlie
early attention of the committee. At the present time the
primary teacher has the first, second,- and part of the third
grades, an enrollment of 4o i)upil8 in all ; the intermediate
teacher has a part of the third grade, the fourth and fifth grades,
an eniollmeut of 44 ; and the grammar teacher has the sixth,
seventh, eighth and ninth grades, an enrollment of 34. If the
usual number (6 to 10) of new j)iq)ils enter this school in April,
the whole of the third grade must be sent btick to the middle
teacher. 'I'liis would cause an overflow in her room, and a part
of the fifth grade would have to be sent to the upper teacher.
Under such conditions it is impossibie for teachers to do satis¬
factory work, and as the lower classes are the large ones the
conditions must continue to grow worse rather than better. It
seems to me that increased accommodations must be provided
for these pupils very soon, and I recommend for the consideration
of the committee that a new modern four-room building be erected
at Nash in place of the two old ones now in use.
REMARKS.
’ I'he general organization of the schools and the conditions un¬
der which the school work has been carried on during the past
24
year have been substantially the same as in previous years. VVe
try to add a little here and a little there from time to time and
keep the educational machinery moving on approved lines.
In teaching the mechanism of reading the teachers are now using
the compound and w'ord phonogram as well as the simple phono¬
gram. This method reduces the number of different sounds that
the child must notice in order to pronounce a long word. For in¬
stance, if the new word is “unsightl}'” by using the single phono¬
gram the child must notice and blend seven ov eight different sounds.
By the combining method the word is at once reduced to three
sounds un-sight-ly and is very easy to pronounce. The teachers
in the lower grades are unanimous in the opinion that better re¬
sults are secured by this method than by ar.}’ other they have
used. They claim that it makes the child more independent in his
reading, better able to acquire new words rapidly and gives him a
better w'orking mind. It is also useful to the child in other studies
for it teaches him to seek for the unknown through the known.
In arithmetic we are trying in the lower grades to establish in
the child’s mind the idea of relation by making comparison of ob¬
jects. For this purpose a large variety of blocks of different sizes
and shapes has been provided for each primary school. The
child is lead to notice the likenesses and differences between the
several objects as he does in color, fi-nit or other things brought
to his attention. At first inexact relations are expressed by such
words as larger, less, etc. In this way the child observes that the
same line may be long or short according to that with which it is
compared. He learns to use 2, 7, 12, or any number as a unit of
measure, and thus gradually gains the idea of relations of magni¬
tudes. After gaining these ideas from comparison of objects, his
mind is freed from the concrete by noticing the same relations ex¬
isting between many different magnitudes. As the power to image
and represent in tliought the conditions upon which conclusions
follow is the basis of mind growth, when these primary relations
become elements in the child’s mental life, the foundations of
mathematical reasoning are well laid.
The transfer of grades III and V from the lower to the upper
room of the Howe School, and grades I and II from the Bates to
the lower room of the Howe, has proved to be very satisfactory
to pupiU, teachers and parents. 'Phe change made the purchase
of new seats for the first and second grades absolutely necessary,
for the old seats, which had been in use since the Bates School
was erected, would not hold together to be moved.
For several years past but one of the rooms in the Adams
building has been needed for school purposes. Fight years ago
the school was composed of six grades and numbered only 28
pupils. From that time the number steadily increased until three
years ago, when the fifth and sixth grades were sent to the Athens
S(diool. Fast fall found the Athens so crowded that the fifth and
sixth grade pupils from Weymouth Ileigiits had to be sent back
to the Adams School. 'I'his made it necessary to open the lower
room in that building and employ an extra teacher, 'riiere are
at the present time two classes in the building — one of 29
scholars, consisting of first and second grade pupils, and one of
81 scholars, consisting of grades HI, IV, V and V I.
For several years past pupils who have been mentally and phys¬
ically able to take two years’ work in one year have been allowed
and encouraged to do so. This practice has stimulated the bright
pupils in all grades to better efforts, spurred on the dull ones, and
imi)iovcd the entire school work. About eighty pupils reeeived
double promotion during the past year.
Another encouraging feature is the degree of interest that the
pupils manifest in work provided by the teachers. During
the year over 2,o00 books from the public libraries have been used
in the school rooms as supplementar}’ work. About 1 ,000 pupils have
read one library book, over 500 pupils have read five or more, and
over ()00 take books from the libraries on their own cards. So far
as I am able to learn from inquiry the young people are reading a
much better class of literature than in former years.
In closing it is but just that I should express my appreciation to
the School Committee for their co-operation. To the citizens my
thanks are due for their uniform courtesy and kind words of appre¬
ciation, and to the teachers my sincere gratitude for their con-
fitKuice, co-operation, and ready response to my suggestions.
Respectfully submitted,
I. M. XORCROSS, !Supt. of Schools.

APPENDICES
1, Report of High School Bnildmg Committee.
In the last Annual Report we gave a general description of the building
for which we had contracted, together with plans of the several floors,
and reported the progress then made in the construction.
It does not seem ne'cessary to repeat now what was submitted at that
time. We would therefore state that the building was carried on to com¬
pletion by the contractor, Prescott H. Jackson, according to the plans
published in that report and according to the contract entered into with
him by the committee, and the keys were delivered to the town at the
dedication, services which occurred on June 30.
It would be too much for any committee to expect, to complete a work
of this character without its being subjected to the sharpest criticism,
and we have not shunned or escaped such criticism.
We candidly say in this report of what we fully realized as a trust of
more than ordinary importance which the town saw fit to place in our
hands, that we have spared neither time nor labor in executing that trust,
to secure to the town the very best possible result with the means at our
disposal.
By this we mean that with a larger amount of money we could have
secured a more ornate and elaborately finished l)uilding, but hardly one
better adapted to the everyday needs of a high school.
We have labored with the interests of the future as well as the present
generation at heart, and we are willing for time to demonstrate the value
of our work.
It gives us pleasure to say that whatever of criticism has been made
has arisen largely from those who have not familiarized themselves with
the building, and that from the many who have so done we have heard
little but praise.
All expenses incurred by your committee, from the purchase of the
lot to the completion of the building, have been paid, and a balance of
^12.50 remains to the credit of the appropriation of $50,000.
Perhaps we should make one exception to the above statement. The
27
commitUie of three of tlie most careful and conservative men upon the
*
board, who were appointctl to negotiate for the lot, accepted avS one of
the considerations of the deed that a road fifty feet in width should be
constructed upon the northerly side thereof, and this action was ap¬
proved by the full committee. It was thought that the town would not
hesitate to accept as a town way, and construct this road, which would
be of more benellt to the school than to any one else.
As this piece was included in a layout which was presented to the
town at the last .Annual Meeting, and which also ran along the westerly
side of the lot and extended thence to Hroa(i street, it was not thought
necessary to make special mention of it in the report.
This layout was rejected by the town, and it became necessary for the
committee to construct that .portion which extended along the first pur¬
chase, and the same was paid for from the building appropriation, the
portion along the second purchase — some sixty feet — a considerable
proportion of which is ledge, has not been constructed.
We consider that the town should accept a layout of this piece of way,
from Middle Street to the northerly corner of the lot, and complete the
construction.
In closing this report we would say that your Committee are of the
opinion that no mistake was maile in the employment of Coring and
Phipps as arcliitects. We liave always found them courteous and accom¬
modating in our numerous consultations, and their large experience as
designers of schoorbuildings luis been of great value to us. ^Vith Pres¬
cott 11. Jackson, wlio carried to completion what, to say the least, could
not have been a lucrative contract, our relations have always been cordial.
The heating and. ventilating plant, which was contracted for and com¬
pleted by L. E. Smith, of Gloucester, lias been subjected to as severe a
test as it probably ever will be and has given complete satisfaction.
The Fuller and Warren Cremating Sanitary Apparatus has thus far
proved all that is claimed for or could be asked of it.
Your Committee has worked harmoniously, not only to secure to the
town the full value of its money, but to provide a High School building
which shall be adecpiate to our needs for many years to come.

n. Report of Instrvctor of Music.
To Mr. I. M. Norcross. Superinlmdein of Schools : —
Sill: — 1 respectfully preseut to you my lifth annual report as Musical
Instructor in the public schools of Weymouth.
This is the first year that the Natural Music Course has been introduced
into all the grades. This course consists of seven charts and seven read¬
ers so arranged as to rei)resent systematic work for the entire school
course. It begins with the presentation of the scale as a musical
* thought, and })roceeds step by step to the end. No new tliought is intro-
♦
duced until the pupil has made the previous thought his own, then the
new idea, a little more difficult, is ju'esented, first in connection with the
old, then alone, and finally applied to all the knowledge previously ac¬
quired. The technical work is interspersed with little songs, which are
always pleasing to a child, because they seem more real than an ordinary
exercise. The exercises as well as the songs are all representative of the
best music that the world knows. Contact with master minds in any
line of thought cannot be other than elevating and inspiring. This is
particularly true in music, where one meets not only the mind but the
personality of a Mendelssohn or a Beethoven.
Although 1 consider the Natural Music Course the best system now
before the public, I found after a trial of three months that supplementary
work was needed in the ninth grade. The change in the boys’ voices
made it impossible for them to sing the difficult music in Book V. and
Reader No. II, vSliort Course in Music, by Ripley and Tapper, was kindly
furnished.
All the pupils in our schools are learning to read good music, they are
also learning to use their voices carefully, and in such a way that their
development will be nomial and healthy. The singing in all the grades
has been very much improved, esjiecially in the quality of tone. Our aim
has been to teach tlie appreciation of good music, believing that “the
best is not too good for the children.”
True progress in the art of singing depends cpiite as much upon good
discipline, the general management of the school, and correct methods of
teaching, as upon any special musical endowment of either teacher or
pupils. It is constantly becoming more evident that the success of music
in the public schools depends largely upon the work of the grade teacher.
Any supervisor, however skillful, cannot get satisfactory results unless
he is properly supported by the grade teacher We regret the uneven¬
ness of results in ditferent school-rooms of the same grade; it is the con¬
sensus of opinion that it is due largely to the work of the grade teacher.
It seems fitting then that there should be a desire for more special train¬
ing to successfully meet such responsibilities. Most of our teachers have
29
Heerned to realize thiH fact, and whatever of success has attended raj
work has come largely through faithfulness on their part.
In conclusion, allow me to thank the school officials and teachers for
their hearty co-operation duriner the year.

Ill. Report of PrincipcU of Iliyh iSchool.
%
Wkymotth, January 31, 1H99.
Mr I. M. iVorcross, Superintendmt of iSchools : —
I have the honor to pre.sent herewith the lirst report of the Weymouth
High School.
The school enrollment by classes and courses is as follows : First
year, 92; second year, 77; third year, (>2; fourth year, 36; English
course, 110;. Latin, 121; Classical, 37. The Latin includes all the first
year class who would not necessarily decide between the Latin and the
Classical until the second year, w hen the study of Greek is begun.
The course of study as followed the present year is much the same a»
in the old schools, but the rearrangement made possible in the larger
school has made the work much more valuable.
Under the present conditions our course takes too many subjects to
allow of thorough work in them all.
Gur most notable changes have been in Mathematics, Science and His¬
tory, and the.se changes have been made with the aim of greater thorough¬
ness. In Mathematics this consists chierty of atlditional time given to
Geometry, wdiich is now’ studied four periotls a week throughout the
second year, with a review of three periods a week during the last twenty
weeks of the third year, making a total of two hundred twenty periods
against one hundred forty-eight periods, the time previously allow'ed.
This will, I think, be found to be ample for plain Geometry, though I
find, by comparison with the schools of Massachusetts as given in the
High School Report of State Agent MacDonald, that even this is less
time than is allowed in many schools of this size.
But IKtle time could be added to Algebra, which at present is not suffi¬
cient for thoroughness, and the experience of the graduates who have
gone from our high schools to college goes to prove that we are not
doing enough in this subject.
The greatest change has been in Science, due not only to the fact that
the sub-master has been able to give almost his entire attention to this,
but also to the new' and enlarged supply of apparatus which was pro¬
vided both for Physics and Chemistry.
30
In the allotment of time to the several subjects we were able to give
only three periods a week each to Chemistry and Physics — two periods
for Laboratory and one for Recitation. I had hoped that this would be
snilicient, but when we reached the middle of the year it was found that
we had covered only about one-third of the work laid out. I find that
many schools allow five periods for this work, and I hope such arrange¬
ments may be made another year that we may add a period to the Physics;
also that the class may be provided with some book, similar to vS tone’s
Experimental Physics, for laboratory work.
The study of the other sciences has been conducted much as usual.
The fine geological collection, so generously given the school by Mr.
Easton, has been especially helpful to the teacher of Geology, in enabling
him to place excellent specimens before the class.
The study of History, which has heretofore been crowded into a
single year, now begins in the first year and is continued two periods a
week throughout the four years, in the following order ; First year,
Greek and Roman Mythology and Greek History ; second year, Roman
History, to which it is hoped a short course in Mediajval History may be
added; third year, English History; fourth year, American History with
a general review. It has not seemed wise to pursue this plan with all
of the classes this year, but it has been so arranged that at the beginning
of another year the three lower classes will be ready to follow' this
outline. This is taken by every pupil in school, and will, if w ell carried
out, prove to be a strong line of work.
Additional time has also been given to the study of English, the course
now consisting of three periods a week for all pupils, for the entire
four years. Since the written lessons in History are also made to serve
for English, excellent results will be obtained as the w'ork becomes sys¬
tematised and established and the tw o subjects are more closely studied
in relation to each other. We are well supplied in general with books of
single selections ; but as the work becomes more settled and our imme¬
diate needs are supplied, great interest could be added to this branch if,
from time to time, enough copies of some of the w orks of standard
authors could be. furnished for a single division.
The changes in the Languages consist in the addition of one period a
week to the second year of French, which fully satisfies the minimum re¬
quirements of the colleges ; and if the same method and the same teacher
is employed from the start, a class can make excellent progress in the
language.
In our eflbrts to make a more even distribution of time to the several
subjects, we were obliged to considerably lessen the allowance for Latin
and Greek, w'hich never was as much as is generally recommended, and
is not enough for thorougliness.
With our present number of teacliers and pupils, the problem most dif-
31
ttciilt of solution Is that of j^iviu^ to ea«;li subject the amount of time
ne<‘eKsary for tlioroughne^s.
We have had two perio<ls for music for the whole school, and, in addi¬
tion to this, a chorus has been formed by those most Interested in the
study of music, wlilch meets once a week after school and is under the
direction of the music teacher. With such an oriiani/.ation continue<l, it
would seem as though one lesson a week for the whole .school would be
suflicieiit. In this way we could fxain eij;ht periods, which periods would
b<* a consid<*rable i^ain in time for those subjects calling for it.
In closing I wish to testify to the hearty support which my associate
teachers have given me, for to them is due much of the credit for what¬
ever success has been attained.
1 thank you for your kind ailvlce and assistance, and through you the
School C’ommittee, for their support.
Very respectfully yours,
E. ,1. lUTGlIKE.
ly. Course of Study in the Public High School of Weymouth,
Afiuts., Adopted 1S9S.
The coiirses are desiirned to be equivalent in educational value, though
varying widely in their udai)tatiou to the wants of dirterent pupils.
The classical course is designed for pupils titling for college. Studies
essential t^ good citizenship and general information are necessarily
omitted. This course is not suitable for pupils who do not intend to con¬
tinue their studies in higher institutions.
Pupils interested in the sciences and those preparing for the Institute
of Technology or other scientitic schools should take the scientitic
course.
The general course, which includes the study of modern languages, is
quite complete in itself and atlbrds an opportunity for pupils to acquire a
good academic education.
The business or English course is designed for those pupils who are
unable to complete a full four years’ course in the high school. While it
is in no sense an equivalent for the more extended four years’ courses, it
presents an opportunity for pupils to acquire a very good commercial
eflucation.
Upon entering the school, pupils, under the direction of their parents
and the principal, may select any one of the courses. They will not be
permitted to change courses except upon the written request of parents
or guardians, and consent of principal and superintendent. Special
courses are looked upon with disfavor by the School Board, and no pupil
32
will be allowed to take such courses without the consent of the principal
actinj^ upon the advice of the Superintendent and the High School Com¬
mittee.
Book-keeping, Business l*ractice, Steiiograpiiy, and 'rype-writing are
restricted to the Business (’oui‘se. Drawing, when not specially desig¬
nated in the course, will be elective.
Diplomas will be given to pupils who have satisfactorily completed any
one of the full courses. Suitable certificates, stating the amount of work
accomplished, will be given to j)upils who have satisfactorily completed
a full course of one, two, or three years.
All tliese courses are subject to modifications as tiew conditions may
require.
Parents are urged to see that their children attend the school regularly
and make a business of their school work. Good results cannot be reached
unless this request is heeded. Parents are requested to visit the school
frequently. The liearty co-operation of the parents and teacliers means
.the highest success of the school and the greatest benefit to the pupils.

And He will make it plain.
Seek noble friends! be stronjf and true.
Your motto keep in sijjht;
Help others rise to hijiher aims,
And battle for the ri^ht.
And treasured in our hearts we’ll find
A memory rich and rare
Of friendships sweet we formed in school
When life was free from care;
Of lessons learned in those bright days
Whose worth we never knew,
’Till in life’s field of earnest work,
We’d gained a broader view.

Our happy schooldays end tonight.
Let us go hence with lofty aim;
And striving ever toward the right.
Seek true reward — not that of fame.
Our friendship is not ended here.
We’ll work together though apart.
And keep the memory of each year
Forever fresh within our lieart.
May we with guidance from on higli.
Aspire to things beyoncl — above,
-And lift the burden, soothe the sigh
Of sorrowing ones, with helpful love.
Let us take as our guiding star '
True constancy — lidelity.
And sometime in the future far
We’ll gain the crown of victory.

IX. Instructions to Teachers in Regard to Contagious Diseases,
Chicken-Pox.
This disease is the mildest of eruptive fevers. It is very contagious
and few children escape who are exposed to it. The disease begins
about fifteen days after exposure, and usually lasts but one week. As
it does not seriously incommode the patient, and never of Itself endangers
life, it is not necessary to exclude from school any except those who
actually have. the disease.
4/)
MrMTs.
This disease oceurs chiefly in childhood and early inanhoo<l. It begins
about fourteen days after exposure and continues from eight to ten days.
In most cases the swelling occurs on both sides. If only one side has
been attecte«l the other side may Ik* at some future time. 'I'lie disease
bt^glns by a slight tenderness immediately under the lobiile of the ear
This will be followed by a swelling in the same place.
As it requires twelve days from tlie time of exposiire before the disease
Is manifest, all the children from the family should remain from school
at least two weeks after the disease has disappeared, unless the sick one
has been entirely separated from the others.
WlIO<>l»IX(i Ct>U(rH.
This is a highly contagious disease and is usually contracted by inhaling
the breath of the patient. Most cases occur between the ages of one and
eight years, but cases occasionally occur in old people who have not been
attacked previously. It cannot be carried by ii third person, hence only
those who actually have the disease ne<*d be kept out of school. It comes
on about ten days after exposure.
.\s the breath is the principal source of contagion, cldldren should not
bt* aUowed to return to school nntil they are entirely free from the spas¬
modic eoiigh.
M KASLKS.
\ highly contagious disease iisually taken through the air, though it
may b«^ communicated through the breath. It has sometimes been carried
long distances upon articles of clothing and thus given to others. From
ten to fourteen days elapse from the time of exposure to the commence¬
ment of the eruption, and the whole course of the disease is about two
weeks. Pupils who liave measles, and those in a family where measles
have appeared, should not be allowed to return to school until two weeks
after recovery.
Diphthkkia.
This disease may be imparteil to others by a person actually, or lately
alfectcHi by it. It may also be carried by a person’s clothing.
The germs of the disease may also enter the system through the air,
through the food, or through the drinking water. It usually begins from
two to eight days after exposure.
As soon as a case of diptheria occurs in a family, all the children of
that family should at once be excluded from the school and none should
be allowed to return until two weeks after the membrane has disappeared
from the throat, and then not until a thorough disenfection of the house
and clothing.

«
Scarlet Fkevk.
This disease occurs most frequently in young children, and is the most
fatal of the contagious diseases. It usually shows itself from three to
eight days after exposure. It is disseminated by exposure to patients
and may be carried by clothing. Particular care should be taken about
disinfecting the rooms in which the patients have been sick with this
disease, and all articles of clothing that may have been exposed to con¬
tagion, before children should be allowed to return to school. In both
diphtheria and scarlet fever, school books that are in the rooms where
these diseases exist should not be returned to school or used by the pupils,
and if the pupil is taken sick in school his books should be destroyed.
Health certificates must be required before the pupil re-enters school.
